//
// For loops also let you store the "index" of the iteration - a
// number starting with 0 that counts up with each iteration:
//
//     for (items) |item, index| {
//
//         // Do something with item and index
//
//     }
//
// You can name "item" and "index" anything you want. "i" is a popular
// shortening of "index". The item name is often the singular form of
// the items you're looping through.

    // Let's store the bits of binary number 1101 in
    // 'little-endian' order (least significant byte first):
    const bits = [_]u8{ 1, 0, 1, 1 };

    // Now we'll convert the binary bits to a number value by adding
    // the value of the place as a power of two for each bit.
